Dell exits from the smartphone market

Dell did make many attempts to enter the smartphone market with both Android and Windows’ OS devices, but Dell’s Streak and Venue Pro Windows line-ups didn’t do what Dell wanted the most. According to Dell’s head of consumer business, it requires a lot of investments to be successful.

As of now, Dell will stick to selling PC systems with Windows 8 and Tablets with Windows RT, even though Microsoft is having trouble selling Windows RT. When spoke about Android, he said:

It’s a content play with Android. Amazon is selling books and Google is making it up with search. So far we couldn’t find a way to build a business on Android.

He also did clarify that Dell did try to explore a market with Android OS and they’ve done a lot of work in their labs.
